A constitutionally potent, minority of Americans went to the schoolyard and chose a peacock of a bully to preside over us. That group of citizens, who had become disillusioned because of a changing economy and a host of subliminal, socio-historical hangers-on -- which they would be hard-pressed to detect or analyze -- poured their frustration into the selection of this nasty, impudent kid with the destructive mallet, who promised to drive all of the adults out of their minds. Voila, folks; here we are! The mallet is doing its work, with the schoolyard bully personality riding shotgun.

There is a psycho in a triangle.
From spike to spike he goes.
With a cable show at each angle,
The psycho’s eyes don’t close.
It’s a pity for the poor creature --
The polls have trapped him in.
Balanced thought is not his best feature –
Inartful, he did win.
If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result, Puerto Rico’s government should’ve been put in a straightjacket and interned in the loony bin decades ago.
This weekend, June 11, will see yet another plebiscite where citizens will be asked to vote on whether Puerto Rico should become officially annexed to the United States, becoming the 51st State; become an independent country or remain a US colony. These plebiscites have happened so many times, I’ve lost count and don’t even care to remember. Even when the statehood option has won (usually the colonial option wins), nothing has ever changed. US Congress is simply not interested.

I was having a typical day, sharing one of the IFZ’s author’s articles (linked HERE so you can see what started this) in different groups and websites and starting to respond to some replies... and then it changed. Not all of a sudden, but in steps. Seemed at first to be something that happens to me a LOT, I post stuff both from IFZ and many other sources, some of which can be considered controversial by many and some that can really light up those on the right. So I am used to going toe-to-toe with, uhm, hostiles. And it seemed this was going to be just another one of those... when it took an interesting turn.

The President of the United States has become a blatant, conscious, agent of the Soviet Union cum Russia. Presidents of the United States of the 20th and 21st centuries, deceased and living, must be spinning, as they lie, sit, stand or kneel. The silence of the dead is understandable; but the silence of the living lambs is incomprehensible!

Ivanka, honey, we need to talk. I’d invite you to my home but I have dirty dishes on the counter and there’s dog hair on the couch, sorry, I haven’t had to time clean things up around here because the maid is sick and the dog walker just resigned. Wait, that’s not true- I don’t have a maid or dog walker. You see I have to do all of those things myself AND work. I’m going to be really, really honest with you, I’m glad you agreed to meet me at this restaurant but I can only afford water and a dinner salad in this place, your favorite- SUPPER, 156 East Second Street NYC. Social security and pension aren’t much and health insurance premiums pretty much clean out any expendable cash I have.

This past weekend the California Democratic Party had a convention and election to replace John Burton. This is what I saw. This is my truth. Others may have seen it differently but it is up to them to write their own story- this is mine:

Citizen Republican,
Who are you?
Lincoln, you are not.
Somehow, some weird artisan,
Outta the blue,
Decided to shift the plot.
Hail. Republican, they’d shout!
Newly born,
You latched on to good ol’ Abe.
Come, let’s call the heroes out;
Sound the horn;
We’ll show ‘em how to behave!

INTERVIEWER: Mr. President, you have created a big storm by the way in which you so summarily dispatched the FBI Director.
POTUS: What’s the big deal? That’s the way to handle a showboater. Both parties hate him, and his fellow agents couldn’t wait to get rid of him.
